How much shipping charge would you send... < RESOLVED >

if the auction description ended with:



<< <i>Buyer pays 7.00 postage and insurance in the USA. . Buyer pays 4.00 postage and insurance in the USA. >>



I kinda prefer the 4.00.... but, that's just me. Obviously a copy/paste error on the seller's part. Should I hold him to the lower cost? That $3.00 would buy me a pack of smokes!

Edit:

Seller's response:
4.00 is without insurance
7.00 is with insurance

what is the value of the coin you won??
i would take that into account if I paid by paypal before clarifying it with the seller

ClarkOfKent

$99.95.... 10 proof sets.

I'll bet he/she wants 7.00 since they will need to be boxed and insured.
who knows, maybe you'll luck out!

Clark,

IMHO, let the seller know the mistake and let him/her choose... Most folks I deal with appreciate a two-way working relationship. I like to save money too - I just know that the things I buy seem to be handled better when I work closely with the seller.

I know that if it is the first time I deal with someone and I find that they're uptight, I hesitate for future transactions. If they're relaxed about mistakes in listings, I tend to deal with them again.

Hey Clark..

I would probably expect to pay around $7.00 for a 10 pack of proof sets. Maybe see if you can meet in the middle, although probably not worth having a bad transaction over.

I do know what its like though to be down to the end of a pack and only have a buck in the pocket.

I just emailed them to get clarification. I resisted the urge to do a quick paypal and have to deal with it later if they want 3 more dollars. Plus, there wasn't any mention of insurance in the auction, so I needed to ask about that, anyway. $7 with insurance wouldn't be too bad, I guess.
What's $3, anyway? Besides.... maybe... a pack of smokes... half a margarita... 3 24oz coffees at Speedway...
Hmmm.... considering how I would have spent it otherwise, perhaps it's just as well that I use it for coin shipment (though, I'm talking about some REALLY good margaritas).
